With the rapid onset of Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) services in the mainstream, you can use them to pay for anything in this world. Even if one store doesn’t accept it, another store will accept it and you can buy an item there.
Klarna is one such BNPL service. And sometimes Klarna users have reported unexplained charges to their accounts.
So, if you have encountered a situation where Klarna has charged you twice and thinking of a way to raise a dispute, look no further. This article will tell you all you need.
Why did Klarna charge you twice?
Short Answer: If Klarna charged you twice, it is most probably an innocent mistake on the recipient’s side. Or sometimes it is a glitch or error in the system. Also, sometimes if the last month’s payment has not gone through, you will be charged for both simultaneously.
Reason 1: Mistake on the recipient’s side
Sometimes the recipient to whom the money is owed might have requested the money twice. Or set the same amount twice in the same month. And if Autopay is turned ON in your account, the amount will be debited from your account.
Reason 2: Error in the system
An error with the Klarna server or application might be a considering factor. If for whatever technical error, the payment has been requested twice, your Autopay will send that money to the recipient twice too.

Reason 3: Issue with last month’s payment
Let us say there was some problem with debiting your payment to the receiver in the previous month. Then both payments including the present month’s will be sent to the person or company it is owed.
Note – There have been instances where people have been charged but there is no order. Whatever the case, you are eligible for a refund from Klarna.
